    Buddy Hall

    You nailed it, Boy Bicol was the greatest of them all according to the old time Pinoy players.

    Buddy Hall

    Yep, I think his name was Bing or something like that. Everybody still talked about him when I first went there. He met an early demise thanks to some poor judgement.

    Buddy Hall

    Dan Louie is the only player to beat Buddy in Shreveport on his home court. Nobody screwed down on the shot better than Danny. He was looking down the barrel on every shot! Check it out.

    Efren yes, Parica no. Bank Pool and One Pocket! Buddy was top speed at both those games.

    How To Get A Really Good Player

    Often Keith would have to borrow a cue from a spectator prior to shooting a money game. He would try out a few different ones and just pick the one he liked. Then he would play with that cue and never miss a beat, or a ball! People didn't mind loaning him their cue, since it was worth a 5-10%...

    Nothing better than a good one piece cue! But you already know that.

    Efren vs Earl Color of Money

    It took me a long time to come around, but after watching so much of Filler and Gorst plus Shane and Dennis, I'm inclined to agree. They probably would have smoked just about everyone from my era. Of course the playing conditions/rules were vastly different back then, but the ball pocketing and...

    Efren vs Earl Color of Money

    You left out Parica, only the best 9-Ball & Ten Ball player on the planet for over twenty years!

    How To Get A Really Good Player

    Too many times I saw Keith walk in with a two piece cue and a rubber band around it. That was his case.

    How To Get A Really Good Player

    It's simple! Become obsessed with pool for three years, to the exclusion of just about everything else. After you hit a million balls or so you will be getting the hang of it, I promise!

    Trigger Finger……….Has Anyone Ever Had This Medical Problem?

    Yes to all the above. I got it in my right thumb about five years ago. I believe the doctor said it was a tendon getting hung up in there. He was an Orthopedic specialist and recommended surgery to repair it. They put me under local anesthesia and he worked on my thumb for maybe thirty minutes...

    Seller shipped cue via USPS on the 13th, but it is seemingly still not in transit. Just shows Accepted by USPS.

    I had the same experience with USPS not too long ago. The buyer was checking with me to find out where his package was and I finally found out that it was still en route to it's destination. That was after two days of checking with the post office. I went into the post office where it was sent...

    Lee Van vs Morra

    If you're a Tier One player in the Philippines you are a great player. If you are Tier One for fifteen years you are an elite player. That is a category reserved for Efren, Francisco, Dennis, Alex and Lee Vann. One other thing in case you never noticed. NO ONE shoots a severe cut shot better...

    Gold Crown VII

    Those skirts were on all the old GC's. They were there to hide the underpinnings of the frame. In other words for looks only. I used to remove them from my tables because they were very difficult to reinstall after replacing the cloth.

    I'll take the brown one on the right all day and all night! It has the rugged integrity of a real pool table.
